NJEJA Joins Environmental and EJ Groups to Comment on the EPA’s Proposal to Repeal the Endangerment Finding

Last month, EPA Adminstrator Lee Zeldin and the Trump Administration have proposed a formal repeal of the EPA’s Endangerment Finding. As it currently works, the Endangerment Finding created a formal obligation for the EPA to limit greenhouse gas pollution under the Clean Air Act. This obligation a critical cool in protecting communities and combatting climate change.

In response, the Equitable and Just National Climate Platform, Climate Justice Alliance, Environmental Justice Leadership Forum, Moving Forward Network, and the Environmental Justice Health Alliance have collaborated to create comments opposing the repeal of the endangerment finding and a suite of other administrative actions rolling back community protections.

Read NJEJA’s Comments on the NJ BPU Energy Resource Adequacy Technical Conference

As part of NJEJA’s aim to provide EJ guidance and technical expertise as well as educational materials to governmental agencies, bodies, and decision makers, we submitted comments regarding the New Jersey Board of Public Utility’s Resource Adequacy Technical conference. These comments were aimed at supporting the BPU in understanding the EJ perspective on different types of energy and call on the BPU to prioritize clean energy projects including more solar (both large scale and community-level), on- and offshore wind, battery storage, virtual power plants, and small-scale hydro-electric.
